I'm born in the Netherlands, but currently living and working in Brussels, Belgium. I studied International Relations and Peace and Conflict Studies in both the Netherlands and Sweden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I like to meet new people through travelling, which is the only way of getting to understand the atmoshpere and norms and values of a place one is visiting. Throughout the past years I've been staying in many different hostels, but the most rememberable journeys and experiences were when staying with locals/friends in a new place that I was visiting.

Interests

Reading and thinking about philosophy, hiking, running, international politics (EU-affairs) and going to a second-hand market and spending hours and hours on searching for interesting stuff (which I possible don't even need).

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all different kinds of music (rock, jazz, blues, ambient, post-rock, classical, techno, house), especially live. Recent book I've read is 'Thinking Fast and Slow' by Daniel Kahnemann.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Belgium, Kosovo, Netherlands, Peru, Sweden
